### The Digital Apocalypse Nobody Asked For
Ah, “Grand Theft Auto V”—that wholesome family-friendly game where you can drive responsibly, volunteer at animal shelters, and definitely *not* commit heinous crimes in a fictional city. Oh wait, wrong universe. If you’ve ever wondered just how far you can push the boundaries of digital mayhem, one gamer recently set the bar so high it might as well be orbiting Mars. Meet the player who thought, “You know what this game needs? A complete NPC extinction event.” Spoiler alert: They succeeded.
According to a report from Gaming Bible, this ambitious soul decided to embark on a journey to kill every single non-playable character (NPC) in GTA V. Yes, every. Single. One. Because apparently, regular gameplay wasn’t chaotic enough. Let’s dive into this digital bloodbath and unpack the absurdity of it all.
### Why Kill Every NPC? Because You Can (And Why Not?)
Let’s be real: GTA V is essentially a sandbox of bad decisions. It’s like being handed the keys to a city where morality checks at the door. But even by GTA standards, systematically murdering every NPC feels like flexing at the gym while yelling, “Witness me!” to a crowd that isn’t paying attention. So why do it? According to the gamer, it was all about answering the age-old philosophical question: “What happens if I kill *literally* everyone?”
Spoiler: The answer is chaos, lots of chaos.
But wait, it gets better. The player meticulously planned this rampage. This wasn’t some spur-of-the-moment rage quit; it was a calculated, methodical extermination. We’re talking spreadsheets, maps, and probably a corkboard with red string connecting NPCs like a murder mystery night gone horribly wrong. Honestly, it’s the kind of dedication you wish your coworkers showed in meetings.
### The Process: Murder With a Side of OCD
Killing over 800 NPCs isn’t as simple as swinging a baseball bat wildly in the middle of Los Santos. Oh no, this gamer approached it with the precision of a surgeon—and the mindset of a lunatic. Here’s how they pulled it off:
– **Step 1:** Scout locations. Because nothing says “I care” like recon.
– **Step 2:** Ensure no NPC is left behind. This meant double-checking to make sure respawning NPCs didn’t sneak back into the game. Yes, they literally killed some of them *twice*.
– **Step 3:** Keep track of progress. Imagine explaining to someone that your Excel sheet isn’t for work but for tracking virtual homicides.
By the end, even the game itself was like, “Okay, maybe chill out?” The player reported that Los Santos became eerily quiet—no pedestrians, no cars, just… emptiness. It’s the gaming equivalent of deleting your browser history and sitting in awkward silence.
### Pros & Cons of This Virtual Genocide
Let’s break down the pros and cons of wiping out every digital soul in Los Santos, because why not?
**Pros:**
– **Bragging Rights:** You’re now the undisputed ruler of an empty city.
– **No Traffic:** Finally, you can speed down the streets without worrying about hitting anyone. Oh, the irony.
– **Scientific Curiosity:** You answered a question nobody else dared to ask. Nobel Prize for gaming? Maybe.
**Cons:**
– **Eternal Loneliness:** Congrats, you’re now the sole inhabitant of a ghost town.
– **Time Commitment:** Imagine spending hours on this instead of literally anything else (like learning a hobby or calling your mom).
– **Moral Ambiguity:** Sure, they’re NPCs, but still—yikes.
### The Bigger Picture: What Does This Say About Us?
Let’s zoom out for a second. What does this bizarre digital experiment say about humanity in general? Are we so bored with reality that we need to create, and then destroy, entire virtual worlds to feel something? Or is this just the natural evolution of gaming, where pushing boundaries is part of the fun?
Interestingly, this isn’t the first time gamers have pushed the limits of what’s possible in a game. Remember when someone spent five years walking across the entire map of “Minecraft”? Or the player who completed “Dark Souls” using only a banana controller? Yeah, humanity is weird.

### Final Thoughts: Should You Try This At Home?
In a word: no. Unless you have a lot of free time and zero regard for your sanity, this is one rabbit hole best left unexplored. But hey, if you do decide to take on the challenge, at least document it so the rest of us can laugh, cry, and question our life choices along with you.
For those of you who prefer slightly less sociopathic gaming endeavors, might we suggest something a bit more constructive? Like building a utopia in “The Sims” or helping villagers in “Animal Crossing”? Or, you know, just going outside.
